About
Located in one of the prettiest buildings in the Galt section of Cambridge, Ontario, the Fire Hall Museum & Education Centre informs, educates and entertains visitors of all ages. We hope that you will come back again and again!
Architect Frederick Mellish would be proud to know that the fire hall he designed in 1898 for the Town of Galt lives on today as the Fire Hall Museum & Education Centre.
Featuring an original restored antique fire truck, historical photographs, firefighting equipment, uniforms and more - we're the perfect place for families to visit - with bells to ring and sirens to try.
You can suit up in coats, boots and helmets like a real firefighter. Take a fun selfie. Go on a scavenger hunt in the museum.
NEW in 2025! While visiting the Fire Hall Museum, use your cell phone to access a FREE audio tour of the exhibits. Just scan the QR codes located throughout the exhibits.
